What is the plan for Butler Palace, also known as 'enemy property', in India

The Butler Palace, also known as 'enemy property', is being transformed into a tourist attraction in India. Here are the key points:

The Butler Palace, located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, was classified as an 'enemy property' during the India-Pakistan war in 1965.
The property was previously owned by the late Raja Mohammad Amir Mohammad Khan, the last Nawab of the princely state of Mehmoodabad.
The Indian government had taken control of the property as it was deemed enemy-owned due to its association with the Nawab's family, who had migrated to Pakistan after the war.
To preserve and showcase the historical and architectural significance of Butler Palace, the Uttar Pradesh government planned its transformation into a tourist attraction.
The restoration work has begun on the palace to bring back its original grandeur. The objective is to create a unique cultural destination for tourists and locals alike.
The palace is expected to house a museum displaying artifacts and memorabilia from the historical era of the Nawabs. It will provide insights into their lifestyle, regalia, and cultural heritage.
The reconstruction will also include gardens, open spaces, and recreational facilities to enhance the overall visitor experience.
The project aims to promote tourism in the region and generate revenue, ultimately contributing to the economic growth of the area.
Once completed, the transformed Butler Palace will serve as a window to the bygone era, enabling visitors to delve into the rich history and opulence of the Nawabs of Lucknow.
